Fatal Accident.

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, September 27, 1856

     On Tuesday afternoon last, as the gravel train was backing towards Chicago, between Evanston and Winnetka, a cow suddenly jumped upon the track, close to the car, thereby throwing it off the track and piling the succeeding ones into a confused heap, tearing up several rails, and instantly killing Mr. A. M. Shedd, the conductor of the train, and slightly injuring two or three others.
